@aral It must be cheaper to rent a car, drive there and &even pay for the fuel than spending 331 pounds, right? If so, sad state of affairs.

@aral or £70 if you take coach class. 1st has to be expensive to price people out. That’s basic economics. -
@imJackH Basic economics in Oslo with Flytoget is single class; awesome facilities & service. I guess basic economics is what you make it :) -
@aral but I’ll agree that UK public transport probably doesn’t offer the best quality, service or value on the planet.

@aral When I was commuting from Cambridge to London I spent over £800 a month on train tickets, only slightly less than my rent. Insane. -

@Smutchings Hey man, read your leaving post. Best of luck with it all; sounds like you made the right decision :) -
@aral thanks dude. I’m hoping it all goes well.

@aral I find if you book in advance, and economy, you can get fares quite cheap. I got tickets from York to Edinburgh for just £16.50 -
@I_am_Heather Will need to look into that. I do suck at pre planning for such things. Need a PA :) -
@aral Do you use http://trainline.com at all? That shows you the cheapest fares through to most expensive depending on class & time of day -
@I_am_Heather@aral One of the teams at#YRS2013 demoed a web app that calculated your cheapest route. So next year you could use that! ;) -
@richquick@aral Handy. A PA would thus be redundant. ha!
